What I noticed in Miami
Why it’s commonIf you sit for much of the day and seldom train wide or side-to-side positions, the inner thighs get less exposure to length and load.
The straight-leg inner thigh may have felt especially tight.
Why it’s commonCalf tightness, previous ankle sprains and rarely practicing a deep ankle bend can all contribute to limited dorsiflexion.
Keeping the heels heavy and the spine long may have felt difficult.
Why it’s commonHip shape differs person to person. Previous injury and rarely training rotation can also make this direction feel limited.
Lifting the rear foot without the knee moving may have felt almost impossible.
Why it’s commonIndividual hip anatomy, lots of chair sitting and little time in floor or cross-legged positions can shape how this range feels.
The crossed knee may have stayed high or the hip may have felt blocked.
Why it’s commonLong sitting and low activity are associated with less upper-back mobility, especially when the spine stays flexed.
Opening the top shoulder toward the roof may have felt restricted.
Part one · outside
Warm the whole body, get close to the ground and finish with five mobility fundamentals.
Outside · 9 min
Open the front and back body, then connect all five shapes.
Do thisFold, walk the hands to plank, then walk back and stand tall.
Why it helpsWarms the hamstrings, shoulders and trunk while building whole-body control.
Do thisStep forward slowly, then drive the same knee toward the elbow.
Why it helpsBuilds hip flexion, core control and coordination without rushing the range.
Do thisLead with the chest, glide forward and open without jamming the low back.
Why it helpsOpens the front body and introduces controlled extension through the spine.
Do thisPush the floor away, send the hips high and keep the spine long.
Why it helpsCreates length through the calves, hamstrings, shoulders and spine.
Do thisStep or hop outside the hands, lift the chest, then return to plank.
Why it helpsConnects ankle and hip mobility to a strong, confident deep squat.
Round one: learn it. Then one rep each, flowing for four minutes.
Outside · 9 min
A playful ground sequence with strength, travel and rotation.
Do thisLand softly in a squat, reset your feet and travel with control.
Why it helpsBuilds lower-body power and teaches a soft, controlled landing.
Do thisKeep the hips lifted and take short, coordinated steps backward.
Why it helpsChallenges shoulder extension, glutes and posterior-chain strength.
Do thisRotate from a stable base and extend the leg only as far as you own.
Why it helpsBlends rotation, shoulder stability and whole-body coordination.
Do thisHands land first, feet follow, then settle softly into the next squat.
Why it helpsOpens the lateral hips while training shoulders and side-to-side timing.
Four minutes of work. One minute to reset. Repeat once.
Outside · 12 min
Five fundamentals for feet, hips, rotation and the back body.
Do thisSpread the toes and sit back gradually while keeping the breath easy.
Why it helpsBuilds tolerance through the toes, feet and ankles.
Do thisKeep the bent-side heel heavy and the long leg active.
Why it helpsDevelops adductor length, lateral hip mobility and single-side control.
Do thisHips back, bottom shoulder down, top shoulder to the roof.
Why it helpsCombines a hip hinge with hamstring length and upper-back rotation.
Do thisLengthen the stance, keep the back leg active and let the hips sink forward.
Why it helpsOpens the hip flexors and ankles while building long-stance control.
Do thisPress through hands and feet, lift the hips and open across the chest.
Why it helpsStrengthens the glutes and back body while opening the chest and shoulders.
Finish with two minutes on the movement your body needs most.
Part two · in the studio
We explore internal rotation, external rotation, flexion and extension with one clear passive-to-active progression.
PAILPress into the stretch to build strength at the edge of your current range.
RAILPull deeper using the muscles that create the range you want.
Inside · 7 min
Settle into 90/90, then build active internal rotation in the back hip.
Do thisSet both knees to 90 degrees, keep both sit bones heavy and breathe into the shape.
Why it helpsGives you a simple baseline for hip internal and external rotation.
Do thisRelax for 10, press the rear foot into the floor for 10, then lift it for 10.
Why it helpsBuilds active strength and control in hip internal rotation.
Rear knee stays heavy. Only the rear foot presses and lifts.
Inside · 7 min
Use a grounded figure-four to open the hip, then create strength in both directions.
Do thisRelax, push the crossed foot into the thigh, then pull it upward toward your head.
Why it helpsTurns passive external-rotation range into range you can actively control.
Bum grounded, hands behind, base knee softly bent. Keep the ankle flexed.
Inside · 7 min
First borrow range with the hands. Then own the same direction using leg and core strength.
Do thisLet the leg relax and use your hands to draw the thigh toward your chest.
Why it helpsExplores passive hip flexion while the leg stays relaxed.
Do thisSit tall and lift a straight leg over the block without leaning back.
Why it helpsStrengthens active hip flexion using the hip and core rather than momentum.
Passive first: hands help. Active second: the leg and core do the work.
Inside · 7 min

Do thisTuck gently, squeeze the back glute and reach up without arching.
Why it helpsOpens hip extension without borrowing the movement from the lower back.
Do thisKeep the hips level and make each foot light without losing height.
Why it helpsBuilds glute strength and challenges you to keep the pelvis level.
Open the front. Finish with the back body working.
